All language subtitles for TT3D Closer to the Edge 2011 (TT3D Closer to the Edge 2011) (ENGLISH)

There is nothing
to compare it with.

It's the most exhilarating
place in the world.

It's like being able to fly.

Just like growing wings.

If it's in your blood,
you can't get it out.

You just want more.

You put the earplugs in, the helmet
goes on, everything goes quiet.

You know it's ahead of you and
everything else around you is forgotten.

It's time to get
on with the job.

My mind goes completely blank.

And my mind just
goes on to madness.

It's time to get
on with the job.

I suppose it all revolves around Mr
Aitken, the primary school teacher really.

Any day I put manners
in, he's that man.

You know, he's my
day lad and all that.

But I think, you know,
fuck it, what a boy.

Just, you know, if he was naughty,
he used to give us the slipper.

We knew he was getting
it because he used to

warm it up on a radiator
before he'd give us it.

If he was naughty again, which was
mostly me, I was naughty all the time.

We used to have to pick stones up so
the lawnmower wouldn't run over him.

He used to have his own putting
green out the back of school.

Our main job was keeping the
putting green right and mowing grass.

And then, yeah, I thought, natural
progression, I wanted to go and race him.

I've still got my first
engine I ever had.

Suffer Punch lawnmower engine.

I mean, it's down there.

Yeah, I just used
to play with it.

That's all I wanted to do.

Well, I wasn't bothered about...

You know, I had a few mates.

But I wasn't bothered
about, you know, girls.

I'm still not bothered
about girls, really.

I mean, I'm not gay or anything.

But I'm just, er...

You know, I'd rather play with
lorries and tractors and engines.

Still, I haven't
really grown up.

No, I haven't grown up.

You've got to do it.

Yeah.

Right and down, Bob?

Yeah.

Road races.

A bit mad.

That's tight.

Oh, you're mad.

Erm, what would you say?

Tile short of a roof.

One short of a six-pack.

A few slates of drift.

We'd use that one a lot.

Lights are on, but no-one's on.

I can imagine, from the outside,
looking in, anyone that's racing the TT

looks like the lights
are on, but no-one's on.

You're not a proper road
racer until you've won a TT.

I obviously ain't a proper road
racer, cos I haven't won one.

But I'm trying.

And I don't give in.

Baris Eamon't a big fan.

Was he?

He thought it was
too dangerous, did he?

There you go.

A lag, a shandy drink
in Southern Forster's.

There you go, that
says it all, doesn't it?

Yeah.

All right, I'll say it.

We're awaiting him.

All right, boss?

We'll get in there.

I was only watching
that the other night.

The Dan Busters.

Yeah, it's mega,
that, Wally's Band.

You know, the idea that
got him to that was erm...

Ah, not Napoleon.

Who was your boy that used
the battleships to begin with an N?

Not Napoleon.

Different things make different
people happy, don't they?

Some lads love going to the pub.

I'm not going to the pub.

Some lads love shagging.

I don't like shagging.

I don't mind it.

I'm not into it.

I'd rather just go and ride my
motorbikes and my pushbikes, you know.

It's whatever
you're into, innit?

If it was all the same, everybody
would be a titty, wouldn't they?

But the different things
make different people tick.

And that makes me tick, and
that's why I'm going to keep going.

That's why I'm going to
keep going until I've won one.

I've won five.

That's my plan.

I've won five in a week.

That's not been done
before, so I've got to do that.

And then that's it.

I'll go find the next job today.

I've got another big goal.

There's a massive...
Well, it's massive.

It's not massive, is it?

It's not massive.

People use that
word, don't they?

I tell you what word
people use all the time.

Unbelievable.

You can't use that
word, can you?

Unbelievable.

When a man, like I've said this before,
when a man eats his own head, I will then

hold my hands up
and say, Right, that...

It was unbelievable, because I can't
believe a man can eat his own head.

But, like we say,
never say never.

Evel Knievel was a big sort of stuntman
at the time, and I had a Stars and Stripes

suit and I had a Stars
and Stripes helmet,

and I thought it was
Evel Knievel, you know.

My dad used to build me a ramp and I used
to jump 14 toy buses where Evel Knievel

tried to jump the 14 real buses,
and I wrote to Jim will fix it for me to

do a jump with him and never even
replied back, the miserable old goat.

But it's always been in me,
I don't know any different.

I'm not really interested
in anything else, you know.

Football, cricket or anything.

It's just been bikes all
the way through my life.

He's still a little
boy at heart.

He's crackers, really.

When I met him, he'd
just finished motorcrossing.

He was wanting to
get into racing bikes.

And he always said, you know, I'm
going to do an Isle of Man TT race one day.

And he said, I just want
to win the TT and I've got it

under my belt and that's
it, I'll never do it again.

And he won his first 250 race
and we were like, oh, that's it.

I think he's going
to finish now.

I thought, thank God for that.

But, you know, it just makes
that bug grow even bigger, I think.

Even then, when I was
ten years old, I used

to watch it and it used
to just blow me away.

I used to think, you know,
that's going to be a bit of

me one day, you know,
I'm going to win one of these.

If I'd have been sat there then and
somebody had said, you know, I'd have 15

wins, you know, I'd have probably laughed
at him and fell off the wall, you know.

But here I am with 15 wins.

But I still get that, you know,
jitters now and, you know, like,

TT's coming, TT's coming, you
know, you're building up, building up,

get apprehensive, nervous, and months
before the TT, you know, You know,

when I think about it, it makes
me skip a heartbeat, really.

I have to have the house immaculate,
my garage has got to be immaculate,

everything's got to
be in its place, I'm all

alone, make sure that's
all right, clean the cars.

So just in case anything does happen,
then everything's ready, you know?

So, but I definitely think about it, and,
you know, it's got to cross your mind.

It has to cross your mind,
because it's there all the time.

It's a reality that, you know,
you might not come back.

John McGuinness, 1743, 127th,
under the lap record from a standing start.

For two incredible weeks each summer,
generations of men and women have made the

pilgrimage to the Isle of Man to pit
themselves against the track which has

achieved international status and
become synonymous with speed and glory.

At a time when the maximum permitted speed
on English roads was just 20 miles per

hour, and racing was a luxury,
racing was strictly prohibited.

A band of enthusiasts intent on testing
their bikes and themselves to the limits

of speed and endurance
gathered on the Isle of

Man, and in 1907, the
Tourist Trophy was born.

You see?

Look at the suspension.

You see?

And then put it the other way.

Watch that.

Keep watching.

It'll do something.

See?

Look at that.

Eh?

Me and Guy have got the
typical father-son relationship.

Yeah.

Guy knows best and I know best.

Yeah.

I'll get a brew on.

You see, steady
cam, that's what it...

Must have shockers
in it or something.

What?

See, when you was holding
that thing, you can jar, but

that takes all the jar out
of the camera, doesn't it?

It does.

I bet it's dear.

I bet it's dear, that, innit?

Go on, how much
does that am, innit?

1,400.

1,400?

Yeah.

Fuck off.

14 grand.

14 grand.

Fuck, can you see that?

14 grand.

My first TT was 74, riding a Gus Coon
Norton Commando production bike.

And I thought, I'm gonna
be a TT Superstar here.

So, I set off from the...

How old was you?

I was, er...

Yeah, how old was I?

1974.

47.

What's that, then?

I don't know.

74.

47.

Viac.

Anyway, come into Glen Ellen, hooked
Craig Willies Hill, cranked it in, down,

down, down, no further to
go, bang, straight off the bank.

The bike finished
up in three bits.

And I brought me back.

And I was back at the TT
again the following year.

Our worst crash ever,
probably North West.

2008, come off a blackie, I lost
the front on the apex of the corner.

Not fast, maybe
120 mile an hour.

Hit the kerb with my
ass at 120 mile an hour.

I walked away,
walked away, no bother.

The bike was nothing, we
could have salvaged anything.

Everything was written
off on it, everything.

And I got away from
that, but it scared me.

It didn't scare
me for life, it just...

Proper.

I just thought, another one of
those moments, I just thought, oof.

But I supposed that, you
know, get it wrong, you're

an inchy out here, that's
it, yeah, we like that.

I'm not, like I said,
I'm masochist, really.

I'm not purposely going
out there trying to kill myself.

No, no, definitely not,
the opposite, really.

I want to succeed, you know.

But that's the buzz that you
get out of trying to do that.

You do end up in that
position where it looks

like it's going to be
game over at any moment.

But those positions, money
cannot buy the buzz that you get.

That thing that you get that you
think, that's it, This is it, game over.

You don't go into panic,
you're out, this is it, game over.

Been in about four of them since I've been
racing, and I've been racing ten years now.

And all of those moments, I think
three of those moments were at the TT.

I come to the gym a couple
of times a week and get

out on my mountain bike
a couple of times a week.

I enjoy my training and it keeps
me focused on the job and I don't like

anything to sort of let my
riding slip if, you know, a

bit of training's what it
takes, and that's what I do.

I've always been a bike fanatic, but
my parents have always been against it.

And by the time I got to 15, I think
I'd worn my parents down that much.

They were a bit concerned about me getting
a road bike, so they got me a trials bike.

And the minute I was 17, I took my test
and got a road bike, so it backfired a bit

on my parents, but, you know, I met a group
of lads that flagged a caravan for free.

It was an absolute wreck.

Dragged it all over the country.

It was falling apart.

And we got to race meetings, had a
few beers, had a barbecue, raced all day.

You know, it was just great
to experience that side of it.

Natural ability pulls you through to a
certain level, but if I'm in a race and it

comes down to a tight battle and,
you know, I lose the race basically

through fitness or something, you
know, I'd be devastated with myself,

so I get very obsessed
about what I'm doing.

And there's only one outcome.

For me.

To win the race.

Every one of the 37 and
three-quarter miles of public roads

that makes up the course
has created a champion or hero.

Over 200 corners must be
negotiated up to six times to

complete the world's toughest
road race in the fastest time.

There are five races over a
week, culminating with a senior TT.

With speeds of up to 200 miles per hour
and the opportunity for disaster around

every corner, its
dangers are set in stone.

To date, 231 riders have lost
their lives on the TT course.

To win just one TT is an
outstanding achievement.

The legendary Joey Dunlop
has an unmatched 26 wins.

John McGuinness holds the outright lap
record, and Phil McAllen is the only rider

to have won four out of
the five races run each year.

No-one has ever
won five out of five.

All

right, can I ask...

Sorry, I meant Guy Hart.

So, the laundry
didn't come back.

I get told off for not saying the right
thing or doing this or doing that or not

wearing the right clothes or
what have you, and, you know...

It just sort of gets on
top of you sometimes.

Not gets on top of you, but it
just takes the fun out of it all.

Whereas, Wilson, for me, you know, he's
doing it for the same reasons I'm doing it.

You know, doing it to
enjoy it and doing it to win.

And I see it as David
and Goliath, and that's...

I think that's what
motivates me in many ways.

That Guy come back to
a small team and can win.

Good.

Could you call
it a deal, Wilson?

There weren't really a lot
of paper signing going on.

Just a firm handshake,
I think, Wilson.

I suppose I should
say, to have a

gentleman's agreement,
we need two gentlemen.

Well, I wouldn't have said I
was a gentleman, in a way.

I think the guy's all right.

Yeah, but we won't
go as far as gentlemen.

You knew when I was
wanking, didn't you?

Oh, yeah, I used to regularly wake
up and see a guy pulling my mate out.

I had to go back to bed for a few
minutes when I finished him off.

Yeah, cos they used to sleep above
the cow and I slept above you, didn't I?

Yeah.

You could tell?

I didn't really know that until
I brought my ankle ride back.

I remember that.

Your toes go, do you know?

When you wank?

Yeah.

You see a guy's toes twitching.

And you knew I was on it.

In the morning, his toes would be going,
thinking, I'll give you five more minutes.

Yeah.

Get a load off.

And the build-up to the TT, every other
race meeting, is a chance to perfect the

bikes, impress new
sponsors and develop the

speeds needed to
compete on the Isle of Man.

Do you want me to broach it?

We're not here for any
lap times or fuck off.

You're not here for that.

We're not bothered
whether we're last or first.

We're not bothered.

We're just here just if I can.

Just whoever's built that one.

Who built that one?

You need to be a good
mechanic to work with me.

And I'm a bit awkward
to get on with, I suppose,

because I'm very particular
how I want stuff doing.

Most motorbike riders
just get on it and turn the

throttle, but I like to know
what makes that bike tick.

I like the whole idea
behind the whole internal

combustion engine
and the way stuff's made.

And you need to have a bit of
mechanical sympathy, don't you?

You can't go charging in
there like a bull in a china shop.

It's all going to
end in tears, isn't it?

You end up breaking gearboxes and blowing
engines up and all that sort of capery.

Still no quickshifter?

No, we don't know
anyone that's got one?

No.

Mechanical failures
are what all riders dread.

Sometimes they're over-revved
and sometimes something breaks.

You know, if a part breaks,
then it's just bad for everybody.

And the TT particularly
because, well, you want to get one

hit and you've got to wait
12 months to have another go.

I don't have it at
all until Chris Mayo.

Yeah, he's the boy.

Mad in a way.

You know, lovely bloke.

He knows his dogs.

Nearly got his dog to talk.

Nearly.

Likes his grandfather clocks.

Makes his own wine.

He's got a grapevine growing out of
his garden through a window that he's

chiselled out in his conservatory that
grows into his conservatory around there.

You know, gets his own
grapes, makes his own wine.

That's a boy, that, isn't it?

Not many folk do that.

I got an entry to the TT in
73 and I crashed in both races.

So I saw more of Noble's
Hospital than the track, really.

What I do, basically, is take a road
engine and turn it into a race engine.

My biggest boast, I think, was in the
100th year of the TT, every single winning

engine or lap record machine
came out of this workshop.

You know, Guy, I think, has
got the best bikes he ever could.

I shall obviously
do my best, and Guy

obviously will put the
finishing touches to it.

If he's happy, he'll be there.

I have every confidence
that if things work in our

favour, we're going to
come away with a result.

Well, one thing I'm concerned about
is we mustn't start thinking it's our turn,

because it never is your turn.

But I think the ingredients are
right, if they're mixed properly.

Northern Ireland's North West 200 race
meeting also takes place on public roads

and is the very last chance to
get the bikes ready for the TT.

Heads down for the
lights above the track.

And when they go out,
this race will be under way.

Michael Dunlop's been
mugged, hasn't he?

On board with Michael Dunlop then, just
looking what was going on in front of him.

You see him coming
down over the hill.

165 miles an hour.

That's a man's corner, that.

Michael Dunlop and his brother William
are the next generation of a road racing

dynasty that began with Uncle
Joey and Father Robert Dunlop.

They were the biggest
road racers, I think.

That the world has
ever had, you know.

So the inspiration I got
from them was so much.

Growing up with two people, you'd
never seen them as heroes or superstars.

You'd just seen them
as two normal people.

Joey blew out the
competition when in 2000,

aged 49, he won a
third hat-trick of TT races.

He was killed three weeks later
in a little-known race in Estonia.

Over 50,000 mourners
attended his funeral.

His brother Robert was
almost killed in 1998 when

his rear wheel collapsed
in an accident at the TT.

But raced for ten more
years until his death in 2008

during the final practice
lap at the Northwest 200.

He knew the circuit, he knew it well,
and a mechanical failure happened.

And it happens to the
best of riders, which was a

sad loss to the sport, a
sad loss to us, you know.

But for some reason, I just thought, that
Saturday, then, I wanted to ride the 250.

Tears of joy.

And look at Michael Dunlop.

Two days after witnessing
his father's death, Michael

went on to win the race and
reduce the onlookers to tears.

What must be going through
his mind right now, because this...

You're only a young man,
you know what I mean?

All you have for life is a bit of
crack, you know what I mean?

And you don't think you're gonna
have to bring on a lot of stuff.

So, like, I turned in from a boy to
a man in a very short space of time.

You know what I mean?

I hope they're up there now
and they're being looked after.

Oh, Conor Cummings!

Conor Cummings,
the Isle of Man rider.

He's fast, really, very fast.

Oh, he's down!

Cummings, he's down!

I took the lead from Ryan just
as I was coming out of the corner.

The back end sort of stepped out on me
and high-sided me over the top of the bike.

And I was, you know, really, really
lucky to come away unhurt there.

I just had to pick myself up.

I got, you know,
dusted myself down.

Straight out on the
bike in the next race and

fall off a horse, get
straight back on it.

Guy has taken a tumble too.

I'm all right.

I mean, it's not bad, is it?

I mean, it's been down.

I've just done... I've done that and
my finger, have you seen my finger?

Didn't have my eye on the ball.

You know, so much going on.

And, yeah, my fault.

Hit the kerb on the inside, took
the front, ended up in the grass pipe.

It was all OK.

We had to put a
new... What did I do?

What did I do?

Engine cover.

Engine cover.

White rose.

Didn't wreck it.

Michael Dunlop, that's Ryan Farquhar,
number 77, someone's blown up.

That's Guy Martin.

Guy Martin.

The engine is gone.

In the second race, Guy overrides
the bike and blows up his engine.

He's completely out of the race.

This was not a good meeting
here as far as results are concerned.

We had a couple of things
that didn't go according to plan.

A couple, a bit more
than a couple, yeah.

But it has been
a learning curve.

You may think we're a bit old to
be learning, but we're still learning.

The opposite.

Guy will go to the TT with that
bike and two brand new engines.

Brand new.

Speed's not bad.

We need to work
on speed a little bit.

It's not bad.

The stability's good.

Ambulance is good.

Tyres are good.

We need to work on few issues.

I'm going.

My ferry's booked.

I'm going in the camper.

Because otherwise,
you're sat at home.

You know, you're sat
at home, just twisting

your thumbs, you know,
waiting for a phone call.

So you might as well
be there among it all.

For over a year, the Isle of
Man has attracted riders and

race fans to watch their
heroes race the mountain course.

Modest prize money means that this
close-knit band of brothers ride purely

for the love of the sport
and the glory of winning.

If you're born on the
Isle of Man, you're

sort of brought up with
motorbikes and races.

You've got the island going from black
and white, quiet, rural, country roads.

All of a sudden, they've got
teams of bikers going down them.

It's just lovely to see
the island come alive.

Stories, stories, ultimate stories,
spinning away to the height of their glory.

It's a festival.

It's a coming together of everyone
who appreciates motorcycling.

The stories that are told as you sit at the
hedge or the marshals in groups around

the island are all
lived and relived every

year, and we never get
tired of swapping them.

Let's just say there's a large segment
of the motorcycling population in America

that knows well about the TT, as I
do, and probably have put it on there,

what we call a bucket list,
things to do before you kick

the bucket to go to the
TT, and that's why I'm here.

I had the opportunity to come.

It's something I've
always wanted to do.

My father and I have talked about coming
here together for years and never did.

He's passed away, so it's on me
to come and enjoy the experience

and share it with him
however I can later on, perhaps.

Well, I wear these leathers
for 27 years now, and at

least 27 years more, I will
bring the leathers to the TT.

My name's Karen Anderson,
and I've come all the way

from Australia to watch
Cameron Donald race the TT.

We sat above here in a room on the
balcony, and we watched the guys coming

round that corner, and there was a
lamppost there, and the lamppost was

padded, and they would come round,
dipping, and then they'd do that in and

out to get round the
lamppost, and that, to me, was

heart in my mouth, heart
in my mouth, brilliant.

Yeah, I know what can happen.

LAUGHTER.

LAUGHTER.

With her on the back, you won't
get too quick, else you get beat up.

It's a very hairy place, very fast, to
watch the bravest men in the world.

And if it doesn't excite
you, you're not alive.

And that's a fact.

Within hours of arriving, Guy is unhappy
with the bike's suspension, in particular,

the swinging arm, because of its
importance for a fast wheel change.

Wilson, can we put
the other swing on?

If you swing an arm in
and get Simon to change

a wheel, it's shit, and
it's going to go wrong.

The bike was given to me
in the first place, Wilson.

It wouldn't be going
through this problem.

And I did say this
in the first place.

LAUGHTER.

So...

Guy has upset the
authorities, too, because of his

plans to work on the bikes
away from the paddock.

I was expecting there
to be tension, because

that's why I've
stayed out of the way.

I've got my air bed
that goes in the back

of my van, I've just
been staying in my van.

When it comes to how I
want bikes prepared, if they

aren't right, that's it, I'll
just pack in and go home.

I won't stick my neck
out if things aren't exactly

how I want them, and I'm
so meticulous with things.

But we're going to meet
in the middle, aren't we?

I can't have it all my way,
because Wilson's bought

the bikes and put a lot
of money into the bikes.

But I'm the one risking my neck out there,
and that's why my head needs to be right.

Wilson always said from the off that my
head needs to be right, and then to get my

head right, it needs to be my way,
which is doing bikes with no interruptions.

But, yeah, I think we're going to have
to meet in the middle, me and Wilson.

The bikes will have to be back here at
a certain time, and then I'll have to do

certain bits of nodding and smiling
There's a contract and the team gets an

extra number of pounds, so they
expect a guy to be professional

and guys sometimes make
statements that they don't like.

People like him, maybe it's because there's
a bit of a rebel about him and so on.

We just have to make
do with what we have.

If I dictated to a
guy, it wouldn't work.

It's just a mechanic who is a
brilliant rider, a brilliant motorcyclist.

The bikes are ready to race, but
he has to have his touch to the bikes.

He knows I've given him everything he
has asked for, so it has to work this time.

And the bike will be checked
and checked again for

anything and then you're
in the lap of the gods.

What's after the corner
makes a massive difference.

If you get this corner
right and make a proper

job of it, you can
make ten seconds of it.

Because you don't brake or let go
of the throttle for the next three miles.

But if it's a man's corner, get
it wrong, you're balaclaring.

Balaclaring.

You see the sign there?

Yeah, get it wrong.

But you don't think about
things like that, do you?

If you want a fast lap out, you've got to
throw your balls to the wall, as he says.

The weather.

After a bright start today, it will
turn cloudy later this morning then.

Although staying
mostly dry this afternoon,

there could be a little
patchy light drizzle.

I think Guy Martin's
real rivals this year...

will be many fold.

Cameron Donald's
always been a threat.

He's a bit highly strong.

But he's fast.

Real fast.

Conor Cummings is
going to be a big threat.

Conor Cummings,
local and Mike's man.

He's fit as young.

Ryan Farquhar has gone ahead of
Joey Dunlop in national wins in Ireland.

And he's phenomenal.

The Dunlops are coming strong.

Michael's really aggressive
and got that will to win.

You know, I definitely won't
get in a ring with him anyway.

Keith Amore again, he's
all going to lead, you know.

He's just chomping at
that bit to go fast and win.

You never know what
Bruce you're going to get.

If Bruce wakes up in the
morning and says he wants

to beat us all, he'll
probably go and beat us all.

You never bet against
John McGuinness.

He's the man at the minute.

He's the man with the
results on the board.

He's the man when you
go quicker and he usually

raises the bar and
goes a bit quicker again.

Nobody knows how
fast John can go.

Nobody has actually
taken John to that next level.

You never underestimate anyone.

Someone could come out
from the woodwork that you

just didn't really expect
and, you know, shock you.

I don't know which about
Hutchinson to be truthful.

He's one of the
quiet men in the sport.

He just does the job, I think.

He reminds me a bit
of myself, you know.

Ten years ago, he was
absorbing everything,

understanding what it
takes to win a big race now.

Guy, you know, I think
every man and his dog and

the world wants a fucking
guy like mine to win.

And there's no question
he's going to win one.

He's definitely got the talent.

But there's some ingredient missing at
the moment and it just seems to find him.

He's going to be the best man that's going
to win on the day, at the end of the day.

And nobody wants to
win it more than I do.

As speeds increase, so do they.

And it was this that lost the TT
its World Championship status.

But winning at the TT
requires more than just speed.

It relies on mechanical perfection,
supreme mental and physical endurance,

a huge dose of good fortune,
and a very fast pit stop.

A tank of fuel and a set of tires will only
last two of the four or six laps required.

Pit stops count toward the overall lap time
and can make or break a rider's chances.

It's 33.

Oh, yeah.

It's OK.

But if we have one
mistake, it goes to 40.

The swingin' hand that's in the bike
now isn't safe to do a fast pit stop.

It just happened, the bike I had last year
was sold to a bloke on the Isle of Man.

And I begged and pleaded with him to
see if we can borrow the swingin' hand back

out of his bike to put back
in my new bike for this year.

So he says, pop up and
nick it this afternoon and then

we'll go tomorrow morning
and put it back in the bike.

We could do with your help.

Guy's father has decided not
to come to the race this year.

It's a bit of a hard filter to take,
really, with Dad not coming.

You know, he's a good
man to have involved

because he's got so much
experience around here.

He's rode the TT for 15 years and he
knows exactly how things need to be.

That would give me
confidence if he was involved.

And now he's not here.

It's not a fuck good job,
but it's made it a lot harder.

And it took my eye
off the ball a little bit.

But what do I do?

You just sit and cry
about it, can't you?

Matt Finnegan, really good
friend of mine in racing, in racing.

I was at his wedding in, I think it
had been November time of 2007.

Yeah, 2007.

And then his funeral was in
April time of 2008, you know.

A teammate of mine, Darren
Lindsay, was killed in 2005.

A friend of mine
used to do his engines.

Richard Brittany
was killed in 2006.

You could go on.

But I just think, you
know, your time's up.

And I think you've got
to be in this line of work.

And that's why I sort of believe in
having any commitments of any sort.

Because if I did have responsibilities as
wife, kids, mortgage and all that sort of

stuff, but I couldn't give this job, as in
racing the TT, I couldn't give it my all.

And I want to give it my all.

But yeah, before I can
start thinking about winning

races, we've got a lot
of practice to get through.

You know, we've...

Yeah, five nights of
practice to get through.

But that's not going to be easy.

There's a lot of work
to do on the bikes.

And that's where my
dad was going to come in.

It's not just going to
go straight in the bike.

A lot of things I'll need making to get
that swinging out to suit the new bike.

But if it was easy, every man and
his dog would be out, wouldn't they?

I'd chill out later on.

Just find a different place
every night to keep in my van.

Just get my air bed blown
up in the back of my van.

Bit of a wank and go
to sleep, you know.

Proper.

Proper.

There's no... you know, people
get all... It's not a crime, is it?

To have a wank, you know.

Fuck it.

You never get complacent
with the TT, you know.

There's always
something you can learn.

And, you know, if you get that
way and overconfident, it'll bite you.

I just went up and had a
little moment on my own,

looking down the road,
because the road was shut.

Wasn't a sound, apart from
the birds just tweeting away.

And that's just something real
special about the track itself, you know.

I was just looking down thinking,
you know, next week I'm going to...

In the race, I'm going to be going down
there at 200 miles an hour plus, you know.

The emotion you feel when you roll up onto
that start line and you're getting waved

off 10 seconds apart, it's just...
it's just unbelievable, you know.

It's like nothing else
I've ever experienced.

It's not about
beating the next guy.

It's about who beats the track.

This TT is the most powerful
race you'll ever do in your life.

I love it, like, it's legal.

People often ask, you
know, why do you road race?

Because circuit racing is fast, you
can get a buzz, but it's not the same.

Circuit racing is rock
climbing with a rope.

It's dangerous, but there
is some room for error.

You slip, you fall,
you've got a rope.

Road racing is like
free climbing, you know.

You're climbing up that
same mountain, you're

on a course, but
there's no room for error.

If you make a mistake,
it's going to be, you

know, well, it could be
a serious injury or worse.

You're doing maybe 170, 180 miles an
hour, going through fast bends with trees,

hedges, brick walls.

It's the greatest thing.

And you realise the dangers
before you put the leg over the bike.

I mean, at the top of Bray Hill,
before I go out, you know, you have lots

of strange thoughts in your mind
and you're nervous and you're worried,

but as soon as you set
off and you get the tap off

the start marker to go
down Bray Hill, that's gone.

And then once you're actually
out here, the noise, the wind,

the physical strain on your
body, there's nothing like it.

It's just, you put yourself through hell
and you frighten yourself so many times,

but that is the draw.

Out there, you can't
fake it, you know.

There's nothing that you can do
that isn't putting you in the moment.

And this is it.

Especially if you ride two wheels,
this is about as difficult as it gets.

When people talk
about extreme sports,

there's nothing more
extreme than road racing.

One split second.

You know, somebody like Joey
Dunlop, 31 years of career, 26 TT wins,

all those other race wins, all those
world championships, one split second.

Oh!

There he goes!

Oh!

Can't you feel the
fears I'm feeling today?

Oh, I'm so excited!

There's no running away.

There'll be no one to save.

We're the world in a grave.

Take a look around you, boy.

It's bound to scare you, boy.

There is no room for
error on the TT course.

Of all road racing circuits, it is
the toughest and most unforgiving.

With an average five
deaths for every mile, only

a lucky few have crashed
and escaped unharmed.

Milky Quail is one
of the lucky ones.

Oh, and he broke the wall!

Oh, Milky Quail is down!

Milky Quail is down!

Your life revolves around the TT because
it's such an immense, passionate thing.

Whether you're on the track or off
the track, it is a life and death thing.

I know it sounds
crazy and stuff.

I mean, I haven't raced around
here now for, what, eight, nine years.

And I still now struggle
with life because I can't do it.

You know, I can't get any buzz.

It's like you've done the ultimate
and once you can't have that ultimate,

then you're a bit like a
drug addict sort of thing.

You just can't get
out of your system.

You love it.

When I'm sat at the side of the
track, you just want to do it, you know.

You think, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So, obviously, if you keep yourself busy,
whether it's swimming, sweeping the floors

or emptying the bins or, you
know, taking all the riders around or,

you know, meeting
dignitaries and taking the

press around, it keeps
my mind off it, really.

Milky looks after the new car, the
newcomers and shows them around the course.

It can take three years of competing
to learn it and at least that long to build

up the confidence needed to
push themselves to the limits.

It's all about confidence.

You need to be confident where
the corners go and how fast.

You can go around that corner to build up
your speed, so I'm still experimenting on

how fast I can go, a little bit more,
a little bit more, a little bit more.

I have to build up and get used to the
corners and the bumps and the rises and

tipping points and the
grids and everything.

Hopefully, I'll keep
going a bit faster.

Get over it!

Get over it!

In by the hedge, transfer
her back over the bike again.

Into here, and guess what?

There's another one here.

That takes you three
years to get right.

After only two years of
competing, Jenny Tynmouth

is the fastest woman
ever around the course.

You definitely feel like
you shouldn't be doing it.

It's quite bizarre.

You feel...

You do feel cheeky and a bit naughty,
you know, to be blasting around the roads.

But I think, again,
that's half the fun.

Like, when you set off down
Bray Hill, it's just a massive big grin.

It's like... It's just...

As I'm coming up here,
all I'm thinking about is the

next corner that's coming
up, which is called Balagheri.

It's affectionately known
as Balascari because it is.

It's so, so scary.

It's so fast, it's the
most important, but

also the most dangerous
corner on the circuit.

The big problem with Balagheri
is it's on site, on your entry point.

So as I'm coming up to
here now, I'm still hard

on the gas, still on
the gas, still on the gas.

At the 30mph sign here now,
this is where I come off the gas.

I come down one
gear, effectively.

I get my head out of the bubble,
and my head's getting ripped apart.

It's ripped off my shoulders.

But at that point also,
I'm trying to look for

my peel-in point,
but I still can't see it.

I know it goes to the
right, but where do I turn in?

As soon as I see the kerb on the inside, I
lay the bike on its side and drive it, OK?

And just...

Fire through, right by the kerb.

So, so fast.

Averaging 131.57mph, John McGuinness
is still the fastest man around the course.

100 years ago, the first
race was won at just 38mph.

Throughout its history, even riders with
no hope of winning have come to break

personal bests and challenge
the island's famous course.

Riders are always chasing
faster and faster lap times.

In first place, this
is Nick Crowe.

He's still second.

I just think it's got a
certain addiction about it.

Once you get here,
you couldn't let it go then.

You know, you're looking at the ultimate
lap times all the time, and I always set

out to beat myself more
than anybody else, you know?

Every year, I just thought I'd do it
faster and faster and faster, which I was

actually doing,
unfortunately, until the time of

my accident, which was
really no fault of my own.

It's just one of them
freak things, you know?

In 2009, while leading
the race, a hair ran onto the

track, causing Nick to
crash his sidecar at 160mph.

I think it had just come up,
damaged the front part of the

fairing, and come up and hit
me in the face, and that was it.

And I had, obviously, the
bike turned immediately

right then, and that was
it, straight into the trees.

Yeah, we were lucky to
get away with that one.

If we have a...

an injury or a fatality, I
tend to sort of want to stop.

Because, yeah, I do, I feel like a drug
dealer sometimes, because I'm preparing

these engines for these people to go
and hurt themselves with, and even though

it's, you know, touch wood, not
my fault, you know, the people

who deal in drugs are worse
than the people who take them.

And so, last year, we
had such a terrible time, I

did so that I wouldn't
carry on with the sidecars.

And then the way Nick bounced back
was just, I couldn't say no to him at all,

you know, so we've got three engines
all ready for him, we're doing two more,

and, um, his
spirit's unbelievable.

Nick himself won't be riding.

Instead, his own race team
will attempt to break the sidecar

lap record, which has stood
unbroken since his accident.

Look at the...
This is your seat.

You have to find Guy?

Yeah, he's, uh, he's got
a problem with his licence.

Have you got a problem
with your licence, Gary?

Yeah.

I just had to have
it re-scanned.

Typically, Guy is nowhere
to be found, and he won't

be eligible to practise
without his race licence.

Until he returns, the bike
can't go through scrutineering.

I don't know where
he is, as usual.

He'll be here in
a bit, hopefully.

Guy Martin.

Where did he start?

He is a maverick.

He's an eccentric.

He's always got something
good to say, although a

lot of the time it comes
out it's not broadcastable.

He's a bit old school.

He's a bit what we grew
up with, what we used to be.

Guy's a fabulous personality.

I don't think Guy really knows
exactly what he wants to do.

He's got a lot of
different loves in his life.

I'd like to see him win around here, but if
you're not careful, you'll run out of time.

Guy's a colourful character.

It's an attention
seeker, isn't he?

You know, he loves
a bit of attention.

He's had green
shorts on for two years.

I mean, they must be stinking
and growing legs by now.

But that's what
racing's all about.

We need characters
in there, you know.

Guy is what he is.

I mean, he talks pure
rubbish, but he's funny.

Guy says it as it is, and I think
that's why he's so popular with people.

He's not worried about
upsetting the hierarchy.

Guy Martin's Guy Martin, and
nobody would want him any other way.

I mean, he is a true grit, and he's
a John Wayne of motorcycle racing.

At last, Guy returns
after blowing up a friend's

classic bike in the
south of the island.

There you are.

You're sorted now.

Spot on.

Thank you very much.

See you tomorrow.

The road's gonna be
closing in half an hour,

and tonight's practice
will start at 7.30.

Hello.

Guy's race license approved.

The team can finally make it
through scrutineering with the bikes.

I've got no chance
of buying that old club.

As the time is now 7.25,
the road will be closing,

and tonight's practice will
begin in 5 minutes' time.

Five minutes, ladies
and gentlemen.

Five minutes.

The

mechanics here last year, we come into the
first pit stop and my eyes were on stalks.

You know, you could see the
whites in my eyes all the time.

You come to TT and your
body is unfamiliar to start with.

Stuff is just
going past so fast.

Standing start like 125 miles an
hour, you know, first lap and it's like,

I must be mad.

It's spectacular and when
you've just plodded along on

your road bike thinking
you were a legend riding fast.

You know, it's like a
totally different thing

when you see the race
pace come through.

You know, you might have
driven to the pits that morning so

your top speed for the day so
far is maybe 40 miles an hour.

You let the clutch out and within a couple
of miles you're pushing 200 miles an hour

between, you know,
stone walls and hedges so

it takes a bit to get
your head up to speed.

But then you settle down,
you start relaxing and

getting more and more
comfortable with the circuit.

You start going faster, you start becoming
smoother, you start breathing properly.

You do go into like
this weird sort of state

of mind where everything
starts slowing down.

You start moving your eye line,
starts lifting so much and your brain

starts working so much
in the head of yourself.

You're thinking like maybe
four or five corners ahead.

It's all about momentum
and keeping your rhythm

up and not getting
into too much trouble.

You don't want to get into any
stupid battles with people, you know.

You've got to be
really using your head.

I'm a real hard
rider to ride with.

If you want to want to race off me, you
know what I mean, you're going to have

to be well wrapped around a
post, you know what I mean.

And that's the way I race
motorbikes and that's the way I push.

And I'll push any
man to the better end.

If they want to play ball, you know,
they can play with me, you know.

When you listen to the
bike come in sixth gear...

Never close throttle.

This is...

It's also for me, you know.

I ride the bike for many years
and say, wow, wow, really wow.

Even after all these years, to talk to
somebody about the Arleban TT course,

the hair stands up on the back
of your neck and you remember.

And I'll never ever forget
my first flying lap at the

TT going over St Linnian's
Crossroads down Bray Hill.

And I thought I'd come
off the end of the world.

Really, I thought I'd
ridden off the end of a cliff.

You just feel you
could fly, really.

Most of the times you do.

Everybody wants to know.

Guy's bike has been
impounded because on his

return he has illegally
ridden it through the town.

What, for riding through the olden
area there or riding through the town?

Riding through
the town, probably.

You're supposed to read
that, mate, pretty well.

But I didn't see you as you
were flying into the green.

That's telling you not
to do what you need.

Really, really, Mr Craig,
this is where you come in.

Team Bucky.

I'm going to blame you, Travis.

I'm blaming you, innit.

Oh, fucking mega.

Mega.

Where's Robbie?

He's got his on.

It'll be perfect.

No problem.

More badges?

Yeah, every year.

Good man.

Good man.

Guy will get his bike
back once he apologises.

Can I take my bike?

Can I take my bike?

I know you're on a diet.

OK.

Help yourself.

Thank you very much.

Go on, get in there.

Good lad you are, mate.

Thanks, lads.

Thank you.

Bye.

Selling off.

All right building.

Pushing out on
that front shale grip.

Push in front and
then accelerate, go go!

Sit back and diez,
out of the soles.

You wanna go that
fucking muster though.

Like the six
rocket carrier route.

Yep.

If there's one thing that I like,
it's riding around on a motorbike.

I'm a speed king,
when I want to make it.

Number cast.

I once won first
prize two and six.

I know all the dirt
tracks, dirty tricks.

I'm a marvel
when I'm out to win.

In a fifty mile
race I am the best.

I ride five miles
and skip the rest.

So come along and see
me riding in the DD races.

Down the hill I go
at breakneck speed.

See me coming down the street
with the winning post on the pillion seat.

So come along and see
me riding in the DD race.

Absolutely two weeks of my life.

It's just something that...

That to me is like
the World Cup pump.

It's just fifty miles.

It's years and my life
is a hundred weeks.

It's just unbelievable.

The atmosphere the friends have
made from all around the world.

See every year.

Lose some.

Gain some.

It's just something special.

People say to me,
you've got children.

You shouldn't be
allowing him to do it.

But you took racing away from Dan and
it would just be the end of Dan's wheels.

And I can't do that to him.

He's my husband.

I love him.

So I have to support him.

You're up on the grandstand
sitting together with

the rest of the families
and the rest of the wives.

You're all nervous but you kind of
have to have a little joke and a laugh.

It's amazing the strength
that comes from it really.

With everybody
together you all club

together and get
yourself through it really.

The Road Racers Great
Defence is always the same thing.

Every single one of
them is the same thing.

That will never happen to me.

But somewhere in there they know
very well that it can happen to them.

And between those two places
there's a lot of ways of dealing with it.

I've worn the same crash
helmet for the last 11 years.

I always wear a certain pair of
socks throughout the whole fortnight.

I always drop a penny down my leathers
as well before the start of every race.

It makes no difference
whatsoever but I wear

pink knickers if it's
going to make me win.

Have you got your
passes in there?

No, I haven't got
a hole in my pass.

You need a pass.

I haven't got a hole.

You can't get a
pass without a pass.

No?

No, that's a rule.

It's federated.

That's what you need.

You take that one.

I'll stick it back on the fence.

I'll pass it back on the fence.

I'll stick it down there, mate.

There's no question that
the Isle of Man TT represents

kind of the last bastion
of the freedom of choice.

And to come to a place like
this and to have something

so truly, you know, potentially
dangerous be welcome.

Really is refreshing.

It's charming.

It's all of the things that should
be allowed to go on other places.

I mean, we're human beings.

Life isn't a dress rehearsal.

You only get one lap.

Why not make it a good one?

This is where I start
the mountain climb.

So this one I have
to slow down for.

Back down to second gear.

Boom!

I get into the wall.

Into there.

As I come through
here, the bump just there.

Bang!

So we run now up through
this little right-hand kink here.

Still flat.

Still flat.

On the power.

On the power.

On the power.

On the power.

On the power.

Back in the power now to drive.

Under drive.

Drive, drive, drive, drive.

Back down to second gear.

Boom, boom!

Back in the power now.

Pull the bike straight.

Get up, get up.

Get the drivin' on.

Up towards these little
left-hand kinks here.

So this first one here, just
get back underneath there.

Out towards the tree on the
right-hand side of the road.

Right to here, OK?

And we run up to now
towards Guthrie's, OK?

Guthrie's is the third most
important corner on the circuit.

Got three left-hand
bends here, OK?

But it's very steep.

This is the one.

Get the first one right.

Get into that one.

One into there, out to
the right line, back into

number two, out to
number three, just there.

See the corner
on the brakes hard.

Down three gears.

One, two, three.

Back into there, back on
the power, drive it through.

Right out towards the white line, back
over towards the external white line.

Back in then underneath
this one, just here, feathering

the throttle, there we
go, lovely, nice wheelie.

Bang!

Over the next seven days, there will be
many scrapes and near-misses, seven

cracked vertebrae, four broken
ribs, five life-threatening incidents,

two bruised lungs, and
unfortunately, much worse.

Where's Cameron?

In there.

What's the plan?

What?

Tea.

Tea, yeah.

Let's get us tea and get
early start in the morning.

Boys know.

Is that the plan, Wilson?

What's the plan?

These boys are
asking what the plan is.

The plan is you're
riding the bike.

Yeah.

Well, there you go.

Well, obviously, a fair bit of
mist up here in Douglas at the

moment around the area
here, but it is clear up on the top.

Starting off with the TT Superbike
race, six laps of the mountain course, 226.

3 miles.

A reminder, this
is a time trial.

They go at ten-second
intervals, so they're

racing the clock just
as much as each other.

Most of all, of course,
they race themselves.

They race tradition.

They race the history
of the mountain course.

We're one minute away from
the start of racing at this year's TT.

The laws of average
tell me he's going to win.

I would like him to win the first race
because I believe that will settle him.

If he wins the first race,
he'll win three or four.

I really believe him.

And it is a Suzuki
that sets us going.

There goes Bruce Anstey with mist
still rolling along Glen Country Road.

But we are racing.

And there is the number
one machine of Bruce Anstey.

He'll be very compact
there through Union Mills.

And there is John McGuinness, the fastest
man in the history of the mountain course.

And here's Hutchie
with two wins last year.

Not on a superbike.

And next off is number
eight, 28 years of age.

Here comes Guy now.

He's fast down Bray Hill.

It's Anstey.

And here we go.

We're on.

Two together.

John McGuinness leads on
the road ahead of Bruce Anstey.

Number six, Cameron Donalds, closing
the gap between him and Peter Moore.

They've got a battle on there.

The advantage being
held by Cameron Donalds.

But here's Guy Martin now.

And he's quick.

John McGuinness has had
an amazing start to this race.

But Conor Cummins, the
local lad, is right behind him.

Only eight hundredths of a
second down in second place.

I'm here in the grandstand.

I can tell you from my speed that
Conor Cummins has taken the lead.

And Malaf on corrected time.

A three-second lead
over John McGuinness.

But John clearly has problems
because of the Solby speed

trap he's gone through at
only 136.4 miles an hour.

So clearly problems with John
McGuinness and the big Honda.

Off to Ramsay and Roy Moore.

They said it was
going to be close.

And it certainly is
because Guy Martin's here.

Oh, my goodness.

Guy Martin was nearly taken
out there by Michael Dunlop.

But it was close.

Conor Cummins, number
ten, leads by six seconds.

Ruffari in Hutchinson.

It's then in third place.

Guy Martin just one
second down at Hutchinson.

John McGuinness is in
retirement on Solby's straight.

What a disappointment.

The king of the mountain
is out on the first lap.

But on with the show.

Number four, who is it?

Cummins is leading on the road.

Number ten has increased his lead to 15
seconds over number four, Ian Hutchinson.

We could see Maxman
on the top of the

podium for the first
time for several years.

Cummins has got a fantastic
lead now, 21 seconds.

If he can just hang it
together, there'll certainly

be some Guinness drunk in
the Swan in Ramsay tonight.

And Ian Hutchinson's
lap time, 130.496.

So here's Conor now.

Let's have a look at this.

Oh, it's 131.511
by Conor Cummins.

And wow.

What a performance by
the man from Ramsay.

Well, the light came on
of Crony Mona to signal

the arrival of number
six, Cameron Donald.

But he's failed to appear.

Now, we reckon that Cameron
may have made a mistake

on that lap, so possibly
an overshoot at signpost.

That seems one logical
explanation for that.

We've just got another
machine coming in now.

It'll be Guy Martin.

It's in now, guys.

It's coming in to the
top of the pit lane now.

And it's Conor.

It's on the way.

He's just been told there.

Bring it home, Conor.

Bring it home.

He knows he's got a 21.1
at Glen Ellum on this lap.

23.3.

Well, that's the klaxon going.

Hutchie leaves now.

And Cameron, he'll be
kicking himself for that mistake.

He's now dropped to 13.

Oh, Conor stalls.

Conor stalls.

Is he going to get
it going here now?

It just won't fire up
in quite a bit of time.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Oh, no, no, no.

It's fired.

It's fired.

Oh, Conor.

A big shake of the head for
the big man from Ramsay there.

Guy Martin goes as well.

And Guy fast into
the speed limiter there.

And nails it.

Charlie Lambert.

So a 21-second lead, and all of a
sudden, it was down to four seconds.

17 seconds disappeared
during the course of that

problem of getting the
big ZX-10 fired up again.

So it's all to play for
them in the final two laps.

And there's some work to be done
by Cameron to eat into Conor's lead.

So Conor Cummins, Ian
Hutchinson, Guy Martin,

and Michael Dunlop,
those are the top four.

The order is the same, but the
gap has most certainly changed.

First of the late numbers
runners now in pit lane.

And here's number 26, Paul Dobbs,
racing with the Kiwi on his helmet.

And there's Jenny away now.

And we've just had
news that Conor's missing.

Conor Cummins missing
here at Glen Helen.

Wave yellow's out here as a
machine comes into view now.

No, it's not Conor either.

That's number eight, Guy Martin.

Conor missing at Glen Helen.

I can tell you what's
happened to Conor.

He's a retirement, mechanical
failure at Laurel Bank.

A retirement at Laurel
Bank, mechanical failure.

Huge disappointment
there for Conor.

So it's Ian Hutchinson, number
four, who's leading on the road.

It's number eight, Guy Martin,
into second place for now.

Number one, two,
three, into view now.

Those three have got to have a
bit of all scrap over their mouths.

That's going to be
well worth looking at.

It's not only Conor
that has bad news.

We've just heard that the new timing
system here in the pits has claimed its

first high-profile victim, with
Guy Martin picking up the lead.

He's picking up a
30-second time penalty.

That's moved him down from what would have
been second place down to fourth place.

So off the podium for Guy.

And Ian Hutchinson, the 30-year-old from
Bingley in Yorkshire, is the leader of the

Superbike TT, with Michael
Dunlop now in second place.

I know it's Hutchie winning, but keep
an eye on number six, Cameron Donald,

despite that
excursion at signpost.

Finishing the race
very strongly indeed.

And that final place on the
podium is not nailed just yet.

See the chequered flag
is now beamed to death.

Here comes the wheelie
of Ian Hutchinson.

And Ian Hutchinson wins
on the Padgett Honda.

Final results sheet.

Hutchie won, Dunlop two, Donald three,
Guy Martin finishing in fourth place.

And it was a time penalty
that cost Guy so dearly.

So when I was in pit
lane, I heard him announce

that Guy had gone through
the speed lane too fast.

And there was a time
penalty against him.

Now that's all I've heard.

And we're just lost
in second place.

When Guy was told he
just jumped off the bike, got

into his van, he didn't
even take his helmet off.

But I'm sure he will
come back again.

It's a big
disappointment to Guy.

He's just done 224
miles at those speeds.

And then told, we'll
penalise you for nothing.

Such a tiny thing.

0.1 over 60.

There shouldn't be
a 30 second penalty.

Five, possibly.

That's harsh.

They're measuring the
average speed over a distance.

And I used to say that
their distance that they're

measuring over is accurate
to within a millimetre.

We have bookfalls of
regulations, by the way.

And unfortunately, I perhaps also ought
to say that in the matter of timekeeping,

the timekeeper, his word is law, and
he records what are then considered to

be matters of fact from which
there is no protest or appeals.

OK.

Yeah, well, that's it.

Monday's a new day, innit?

And, you know, Guy's got
another two races on Monday.

So, you know, as long as Guy turns up this
evening open-minded and puts today's race

behind him, you know, he's got
another superbike race as well on Friday.

Erm, you know, we'll
just move on from it.

Welcome to Monday's
action on the mountain course.

Two races, 600cc
machines on first at 10.45.

Guy Martin has flitched
them from the start.

At the last, Guy Martin is still
leading the race by just over

second from Ian Hutchinson,
with Dan Knead in third place.

Guy Martin is here at
Ramsay Hairpin, left one,

and he still leads, and
he looks determined today.

News from the top of the mountain,
from the bungalow, is that Ian Hutchinson

has halved the gap on Guy
Martin, and that here's Ian

Hutchinson, who leads
at the end of the first lap.

Guy Martin obviously likes that stretch
of course between the grandstand and Ian

Hutchinson, because he's
consistently quicker, but

Hutchinson seems to get
in on him everywhere else.

His trouser pulls
the excitement here.

Guy Martin is leading the race.

Now Ian Hutchinson has
gone back into the lead.

It's Guy Martin,
back into the lead.

There's Hutchinson
now, leading on the road.

Charlie, what's the difference?

This guy comes in.

3.3 seconds, so Hutchinson
has been going away a little bit.

Guy Martin's been told he
can do this, and I'm sure there's

thousands of you out there
who would like him to do this.

The guy had problems
there on the way.

We heard a lot of shouting.

Guy goes through with
Keith Abel, hot on his tail.

Michael Dunlop slots into third, but it is
Ian Hutchinson who's extended the lead.

It's now over four seconds.

Stand by your beds,
because the news from

Belaf is that Guy Martin
has halved the gap.

Ian Hutchinson is coming towards the end
of the race, but Guy Martin has now put it

down to less than three
seconds at the cronk.

Guy Martin is having
the laugh of his life.

Is it going to be enough to give
him his first victory here at the TT?

And Hutchy crosses the line
right now, but where is Guy?

He started 40
seconds after Hutchy.

We've started the stopwatch,
and we're going to be

counting it all the way
down to those 40 seconds.

It's 37, it's 38, it's 39.

It is victory for Ian
Hutchinson by 3.03 seconds.

Guy Martin is in second place.

Michael Dunlop is in third
place with a final lap of 126.587.

The one, two, three is Hutchinson,
Martin and Michael Dunlop.

And it's down to Chris Kidley.

I don't know where, um... Tim,
where's your guy gone to, actually?

I can tell you he went straight up the
return as much as we know at the moment.

Did not come into
the winner's seat.

He went straight up the return.

I'll have to find out
what's going on there.

There's people who
have made rules there.

It's nothing to do with us.

Paul's trying to do his job.

You know what I mean?

It's not Paul.

Paul doesn't make the rules.

Now this is me being...

Guy, we don't want
to be proud of you.

It's just, please.

Come on, Guy.

Well done, Guy.

Get his hat down there, Guy.

Hey, wouldn't you be pleased?

Yeah, Guy, I'd be
upset, but I wouldn't take

out on the people
that spoke to me, mate.

0.112.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, Guy, Guy.

Brakes, brakes, front
brakes, front brakes.

I'm going to hold
his bum in a minute.

Now then, boss.

Where did you go?

60.112.

That's you boys being picky.

This is me being picky.

I'll do what I want at my speed.

So this is Saturday's race
you're on about, isn't it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We'll let you get down the bottom there
and we'll have a longer chat later on.

OK, Guy, thank you very much.

Guy's off there now.

That

was a bit of a Guy Martin
protest we saw there.

You going straight in.

If I walked at 0.112 over a kilometre
an hour, do you know how far I'd go?

0.112.

0.112 over a kilometre.

How far is that
length of this here?

Getting there.

Getting there.

See you.

And richly deserved as well.

It's been a terrific morning's
racing and these guys will

remember this for one reason
or another for a very long time.

Guy Martin is not hanging
around at the top of the podium.

He's already
making his way down.

He's taking his bottle of
bubbly with him, though.

Tell me a bit how you feel.

They're being awkward with me.

I'll be awkward with them.

I'll just do things.

They want you, you've
got to do this, you've got

to do that, you know,
press this, press that.

Fuck off.

They're being awkward with me.

I'll be fucking
awkward with them.

They're simple.

No problem.

No problem.

Don't worry, that's only
the tip of the iceberg.

You'll wait until
I win it for you.

I don't even think
about it really, mate.

I just agree with them.

If you're best of all, if
out I say was just sour

grapes, anything at all I
say, I could have said out.

I had to do an interview
yesterday morning.

I just said I was
happy to finish fourth.

Happy.

That's where I wanted to be.

Obviously not I wanted
to win it, you know.

They're not helping you with
dickheads like that, are they?

Oh, well.

Worst things happen at sea.

We're still here, aren't we?

We're still here, aren't we?

Haven't gone around it well.

Obviously not well enough.

What do you mean, mate?

Yeah, I know what
needs to be done.

There's another three
races left yet, innit?

It'll come.

And there is the race
leader, Ryan Farquhar.

Really looking down, eh?

Something must have
gone wrong at the start.

The guy, he was well
outside the top ten.

It's Hutchie's victory
by 1.3 seconds.

Hutchie, Ryan Farquhar.

Ryan and Connor in that order.

It's Patrick Hutchie
winning three TTs in a

week, and there are
still two solo TTs to go.

I just gave it absolutely everything
I could and just unbelievable, man.

Unbelievable.

After that win, stop.

I hear the ocean beat upon
the shore right side my room.

Calling me out from sleep
to listen to her graceful tune.

She makes me feel alive.

Her power more
than words can say.

Tension's through my purse.

I'll cleave my head
to face the day.

I pray.

Hello?

Ah, alright driver, are you?

What do you know?

Not all?

Well, I just started watching some onboards
while I'm getting a plan of attack, so.

Jefferies from 2002,
and then bits of Hutchie.

I'm going through the
tight sections, too hot, and

then I'm losing the run
on to the long straights.

I see the sun rise up into
a cloudless sky of blue.

Coaching shadows back to
let the sun's light shine for me.

Okay.

You want it?

Thank you very much.

Great.

Thank you very much.

Good luck.

I hope you get the race.

I know.

I hope you do.

I've just seen Paul Dobbs,
just maybe got a word with there.

Dobbs, good morning, Paul!

How are you doing?

What about today's conditions?

You met your son when you woke up
this morning, you must have thought, oh no.

No, teammates with
Odyssey this year, and

he assures me that
it's going to come right.

So all right, Paul.

I'll let you get
together and get warm.

He looks freezing.

You're looking as if you're
not ready for a race, though.

Well, that's not safe, is it?

You can't go racing in
that high of a race, is it?

He's

looking very strong.

Keith Amor on
the pace as in third.

Michael Dunlop is here and he
still leads, but only by 1.82 seconds.

The difference is
only 1.82 seconds.

He has because Michael
Dunlop crosses the line.

But it is Ian Hutchinson who has won
the race and not just that, he has made the

most amazing feature
of history here today.

The first man in history to win the first
four TT races and only the second man

after Philip McCallum
to win four in a week.

Ian Hutchinson, the
new king of the mountain.

No question about that.

Next

away will be New Zealand's finest Paul
Dodds, right behind is Welshman Paul Owen.

Great to see the man.

Let's hear from Len
Goughlin here once again.

Well, we're on the start
line and then shake hands

with your mates and
always wish them all the best.

I set off behind my mate Paul Dodds
because you're ten seconds apart.

You can count them
when they just disappear.

You start counting.

You can hear them coming down from the
campsite down in the dip and then back up,

you can hear them speed coming out there
and you can tell the men from the boys.

Because they gear down,
they drop a cog down.

And then they ease off slightly, then they
open it up and rip it round the corner.

But I have to say the top boys, they just
don't bother, they just keep it going flat.

He just came around the
corner so well, clipped it.

The bike went the
height of the bus stop.

It just went straight up and the height
of the bus stop, that's down there.

It's like a battleground.

I was just closing on him and then we come
up to Balaguerie and I'd just seen him go

off into the corner and then
the yellow flags come out.

So I knew there'd
been an incident.

He'd blown the
engine or crashed.

I could hear the other riders
coming so I just grabbed a flag

and just run into the track
to slow the other riders down.

The medics tried
everything they could for him.

But he'd have been cheesed
off if he'd have been in the

car and got squashed by a
tractor or something like that.

We're here, we race,
we know the dangers.

It's not tiddlywinks
or whatever.

That's why everybody gets
on if you can help each other.

But sadly he'd lost his life
to the sport that he loves.

Just one of them, mate.

I had one of those moments that happen at
some point once or twice during every TT4

night and I just stand and look around
and everything you see, the bikes,

the overalls, you hear that siren,
pit entry siren, everything going on.

I just thought, I love this.

And I actually thought...

Stupid moment of clarity.

God, I'd miss this if I couldn't have it
because something happened to Dobbsy.

An hour later...

Anyone could lose
their partner tomorrow.

People step out under a bus.

People are lost every day.

You talk about that and joke
about it all the time, you know.

I might not be here next
week, is what people say.

But when it is part of your
consciousness, even a

subconscious part, it really
does make you love life.

It makes you appreciate
who you've got and what's

special about them and
just how lucky you are.

The reason we make that
choice to go racing is just

the whole, you know,
we're here for a good time.

How can we get the
most fun out of life?

And we want the kids
to share that as well.

They come along, they
love it, they're part of it.

Because we had that
time with them, it's made

us who we are, it's
made them who they are.

You know, they're incredible.

They're strong, they're fun.

And we have fun, you
know, we have so much fun.

It doesn't stop.

And we're going to keep
on having fun, you know.

Ride the bikes, play the
music, dance in the kitchen.

You know, still love the
TT, still love the island.

You can't change that.

You can't love the death,
you can't love the loss.

But you can't love
the excitement and the

thrill without knowing
that that's part of it.

It wouldn't be so exciting
if it didn't have the risk.

That's why they want to do it.

A second rider was killed in
yesterday's Supersport 2 race.

48-year-old Austrian Martin Leuken
died in a crash at Quarry Benz.

This is Friday, senior day.

This is the day we've
all been waiting for.

It's the final.

And it's the race of the year
as far as we're concerned.

It's a big prize.

People call it the
power and the glory.

It just means so much.

So we will be putting
a big effort into this.

A huge effort.

Everyone's ready.

And Guy is up for it.

He's just arrived.

That's him on the
dirty old bicycle.

The push bike.

Who's going to take
this year's senior title?

Will it be an unbelievable
five for Ian Hutchinson?

Can John McGuinness?

Will he be able to
beat the MANAGER?

At the second, at the
fourth, yesterday, at the fifth...

I've not had the
best of weeks really.

A few little issues in the
way of just the bike itself.

But it's all food for thought.

I've got to try and take
them through into today's

race and go play the
part and see what I can do.

I'm going to go out
there and try my hardest.

But sometimes I've been
watching on boards and

watching this and that,
and I'm trying too hard.

And I think I look in a
couple of places I am.

And that's what's
holding me back.

So, yeah.

Yeah, I'll pull my finger out.

That penalty, I didn't
feel really bad about it.

Worst things happen at sea, I just
come sat in here with my helmet, my boots,

my gloves, my leathers and all
that shit on, I just sat here and...

At the time, if someone had come in here,
if Mr Speed Gunman or whatever had come in

here, I'd have threshed
the fuck out of him.

But, really, Mr Speed Gunman, I'd
have threshed the fuck out of him.

I'm not a fighting man, but there's
a time and a place for everything.

And someone's like that
going on, point whatever

it... I don't even
get me started on it.

I've won four so far and it'd be great
to get the fifth and, you know, it'd be the

fairytale story, but, obviously, everyone's
been gunning out to get me all week.

And I think, in some respects,
the pressure's kind of off them with it

just being one person
that's done it all week.

What more can they do?

It's not as if, you
know, there's been four

different winners and
they haven't won one.

It's just, I think maybe the
pressure's off them a little bit,

but on the other side of it,
it's the last race this year.

And, you know, if they really are
determined to win a TT this year, this is.

.. this is a last chance.

Even one of those kind of
Cummins posters are out yet, but

there'll be a big groundswell
of support for the local boys.

If you go out there with your Ed Ryle,
you know, if I listen to Rage Against

Machine before I go out, you're going
out there with the wrong frame of mind.

So I'm going to go out
there and listen to... I think I

might have a bit of Otis
Redding on me before I go out.

Yeah, smoke me ten Bensons.

Do you want ten Benson?

That'll do, isn't it?

Yeah, I'm taking... I'm
all taking up smoking.

I'm taking up
smoking after July.

There's been a few moments in this past
couple of weeks where I've just thought,

but I've not... I've not smoked.

So I think a bit about Otis
Redding on the start line

and pretend to smoke a
fag and take it as it comes.

To

its conclusion here, we're
going to have the senior TT race

going in just under an
hour's time at half past twelve.

And we will, of course,
give you all the build-up

and the interviews
as the riders get out.

So, long story short,
we'll get through it.

And this will be made
by Ian Hutchinson.

He's proved himself to be an absolute
maestro around the mountain course.

And there is the number
one machine of Bruce Anstey.

The lap record is still
standing at 31.578mph.

That was set by John
McGuinness last year.

Less than ten seconds to go.

Well I can tell the members of the Guy
Martyn Fat Club over there on the far side

of Glencultury Road that their
man is still one of the favourites.

Along with the big
local home number two.

Number 10, Conor Cummins.

The last few seconds take away.

We watch the flag, which
drops, and we are now racing.

Bruce Anstey, Fountain
Maestro, John McGuinness.

Now number 3, Ian Lockhart.

That's Hutchie on the number 4.

Keith Abel goes.

And Cameron Donald.

So Michael is away on the Honda.

Guy Martin on the
Wilson Craig Honda.

Guy's off and racing.

But only by 0.45 of a second
from number 10, Conor Cummins.

There's only 0.06 of a second then
between him and number 4, Ian Hutch.

John McGuinness, 0.74
of a second down on him.

So one and a half seconds
cover the top four here.

And a tight line in for
number 8, Guy Martin.

131 mile an hour lap for Guy.

131.108.

That's Guy Martin's fastest lap
ever around the mountain course.

And he's absolutely
on song today.

It's all about those guys
on the 8 and 10 plates.

Guy Martin and Conor Cummins.

It's so close right behind them.

Hutchie and John McGuinness
are right there in the mix.

And Conor has
gone into the lead.

Conor has snatched
the lead from Guy Martin.

But there's 0.58 seconds in it.

It's

down to fractions of seconds because at
the Buckelew, Guy Martin has narrowed the

gap on Conor Cummins
to just 1 tenth of a second.

That's all there is.

It's still desperately,
desperately tight.

Right in front of you here now.

Red Torpedo on the
back of his Leathers.

Just watch that speed.

Go on.

And Guy Martin, let me
just give you his details.

130.642.

And he was the race
leader at Brocklin Moda.

But still waiting for Conor.

Conor's here now.

130.278.

A brand new tyre in for Guy.

She fires up and
he is away right now.

So, great pit stop by
the Wilson Crate team.

And it's the McAdoo
boys who are on it now.

Tying her up, Mark.

And Mark just says,
go, go, go, go, go.

She fires and the
big man is away now.

Here he is.

Here's Guy Martin.

But

there was an awful long gap
there in between Hutchinson

and Michael Dunlop and
Keetha Moore appearing here.

And the road goes quiet
here for a moment or two.

But we're still waiting.

Machine number eight.

And here's Conor at number ten.

So we don't appear to
have a Guy Martin here.

Guy Martin is missing.

Well, back here in the ground stand, we're
not sure if we've got a red flag situation.

The race has been stopped.

Because a fire engine
has to go onto the track.

It's clearly something
very serious.

A Balagueri.

It's only the second-seater race
in 100 years to be red-flagged.

Hutchinson into Balagueri.

And Guy Martin has a great
response between Glen Ellyn.

Red flag, boys.

Red flag.

We believe it's Guy Martin.

He's crashed into the
bike and set fire to a field.

And that's one of the only
times they'll put red flags out.

It's gut-wrenching for everyone.

The team are pacing up and down.

You can see the team bosses head
down, not knowing what's going on.

I mean, nobody knows
any better than anybody.

First thing we knew about it was
when Guy didn't arrive at Glen Ellyn.

He liked to think that it's a
mechanical failure rather than a crash.

But then we heard the
hedge was on fire at Glen Vine.

Only riders and officials are
allowed in the Parc Romain area.

You could see the fire in the
distance about a mile away.

There was smoke and one of the hay bales
was on fire and they slowed us way down.

And then I thought, OK,
well, there's a hay bale on fire.

And then, well, there's the
bike in somebody's yard.

And I'm like, OK,
we're past the incident.

Quarter mile later,
there was Guy.

And I was like, ah, shit.

There was an incident.

Guy was missing,
so it had to be him.

He crashed at something
like 170 miles an hour.

So he was off at that speed.

And, of course,
you worry, you know.

You don't jump a bike at 170
miles an hour and get up again.

So, yes, we were worried.

Paul Dobbs crashed there last
night and, you know, he didn't make it.

So, fingers crossed for Guy.

It's hit and miss
there, you know.

There's no run out as they're
anywhere on the circuit here.

And Guy seems to have made a
little bit of a rider error sort of thing.

And he's gone into the wall.

It's not looking good.

I came up on the circuit.

You know, it just looks like a
bomb's exploded when it goes on here.

The wall and all the
bales were on fire.

You know, Guy's
laid there in the track.

His bike's split in pieces.

Like, it's, you know,
it's horrendous.

Yeah, everyone's fingers
crossed at the minute.

See how Guy is.

It's just how it
is sort of thing.

We all enter it.

There's no gun to
our heads to enter.

We all love it.

And at the end of the day, if it goes
wrong and the worst does happen,

they've died an happy man like.

You know, the show's going on.

We've got four laps coming here.

We're at three o'clock start.

You know, it'll be no slower.

Now, let's give you
the track conditions.

Road, lack of
adhesion at Balagueri.

Dry around the rest.

Of the course, visibility good.

For that race, John Lappert.

Got my fingers
crossed for Conor today.

He'll be out there giving
it the berries as usual.

I'm right behind you,
Conor, if you're listening.

Four laps, 150.92 miles.

John is the race leader in the
race before it was abandoned.

There's a way on number two.

This is Ian Hutchinson.

Start of number ten.

Conor Cummins looking so good.

For the first couple of laps.

He's got to keep it together
for the full race today.

And here comes the
first of those machines.

It is McGuinness.

Here's Hutchie now.

0.61.

That's all there is
between the two of them.

And Santa report.

Michael is in
retirement with Joey's.

And Cameron is off the bike.

Here's Conor now.

Head down.

So the big news
here at Glen Helen.

Lap two.

McGuinness appears to be out.

And it's 3.24 seconds that Ian
Hutchinson leads number ten.

Conor Cummins.

Back here at the grandstand.

We have got the situation
at the bungalow where

Ian Hutchinson retains
the lead of the race.

We're waiting for Conor to appear at
the bungalow before we can update that.

News of Conor Cummins.

He came off at the veranda.

And he's receiving attention.

So Conor off at the veranda.

Ian Hutchinson crosses the line
and rides into the history books.

Forget the famous five.

This is the fabulous, fantastic
five by the Bingley Bullet.

Ian Hutchinson.

30 years of age.

He has rewritten
the history books.

Of one of the greatest
motorsport events in the world.

Again it was the
sound and the blur.

But the blur stopped.

He's coming around the corner.

Good race line.

Really good race line
in all fairness to him.

And he was flying around.

The bike comes down.

He kicks the bike away.

And the bike literally turns
into a fireball on impact.

It's like the start of
a TV programme.

Like an all action TV programme
where the screen is filled with flames.

And this silhouette
comes towards us.

Out of a waist height.

And it's Guy.

And I'm thinking.

Oh here we go.

I've got a job.

The first thing that
springs to my mind.

So I reach around.

Grab my orange box.

The med box.

I turn around there.

And Guy is flying past me.

Followed by a
bike which is on fire.

And he just screams past me.

And then the bike
goes over to one side.

And it's still in flames.

I mean it's black
smoke everywhere.

Flames are a heck
of a mess down there.

And Guy is in the middle.

I told him I'm not
going to cut your leg.

Because I need to
check you over first of all.

And he said.

Oh don't cut my leathers.

Don't cut my leathers.

Now I understand that.

Because I'm a biker.

And that's the
last thing I'd want.

Is somebody to cut my leathers.

But he was good.

He was good.

Definitely somebody
up there watching him.

No doubt about it.

Lucky Guy.

I thought right.

Job was looking good.

Job was looking good.

131.5 from a standing start.

Slow him to come into the pits.

I think 130.6.

Battling for the lead.

Went out from the pits.

Got about five
mile out Glen Vine.

Took the front.

Thought I got it.

Thought I got it.

Got it.

Got it.

Got it.

See I've had a few
moments like this.

You just ride into the
grip that you've got.

And I was riding
up to that point of.

I know where there
was decent grip.

You couldn't really
push past that point.

Because I just left the pits.

We did another
full tank of petrol.

And I had this idea in my head.

The grip that I could.

I'd ride up to.

And erm.

Erm.

Obviously not.

I think the full tank of petrol
probably made a bit of difference.

Erm.

Lost the front.

Fat front.

You know.

One of the.

Faster corners of the track.

Probably 160, 170 mile an hour.

Took the front.

And I thought I've got it.

I've got it.

I've got it.

No.

No.

I haven't got it.

There's a jump ship.

And erm.

I think.

I've got a few bits of singed
eyebrows and eyelashes.

And singed my fringe
and what have you.

But it's erm.

I ended up in the wall I think.

But I can't remember how
much I was knocked out.

But I'm still here.

And I'm not bad really.

I mean.

It could have been a
lot worse couldn't it?

It could have been a lot worse.

Yeah.

And I think.

There's nothing.

It's only.

You know.

A bit of bark off my
knees and what have you.

You know.

Sliding.

You're sliding at
160, 170 mile an hour.

That's a lot of heat isn't it?

No.

I've got a bit.

A lot of friction
burns from sliding.

There's a few broken ribs.

Punched lung.

Erm.

Four.

Chip vertebrae.

And two crack vertebrae.

Apart from that.

I like a new one.

So yeah.

Just sat here and.

And erm.

Yeah.

I think.

I think.

I think here.

I'm sitting.

I'm sat here.

I'm moving my legs about.

Oh I'm invincible.

But then I try and get off.

And I think.

You know.

I'm not.

I'm not as good as I think.

Stay like out with the spine.

You can't rush it can you?

You know.

It's a stable fracture
as it is at the moment.

But.

Push any harder.

You know.

You can.

Like Connor is just
at the corridor there.

Not looking clever.

You know.

His back is a bit
worse than mine.

I'm just sending
him away to get his.

His shoulder and
elbow screwed together.

But.

Part of the game boy.

We're all on the wrist.

No one is making us do it out.

All part of the game.

Put me in that position again
I'll do exactly the same again.

Exactly the same again.

I'll be back.

He's just making me
work for it isn't he?

It's all right.

I think.

I think I've had a podium every year since
1997, so yeah, it seems weird coming up

the access road and not getting a
cheer and a clap and getting way past the

rostrum and I was leading the first race
and it all went wrong and then the senior,

the blue ribbon race, I got up to sort of
11th second lead and Guy had the crash and

you know, red flags come out and you've
got to come back and tune yourself back in

and get Darlene ready for the restart and
the restart looking like it was going good

and then we had a kill switch failure,
two pence wire snaps off, the solder

breaks and just puts you
out of contention completely

and you know, that's
a TT for you I suppose.

I mean, I've had a lot of luck in the
past, I've won a lot of races around here

and when luck's not on your side,
it's not happening for you, you know.

For sure Guy Martin's had a worse day than
I had and for sure Connor Cummings has had

a lot worse day than I have, absolutely
one piece and you know, I'm going to head

for the ferry and get home and get my
thoughts together and see what's going to

be available for next year
or you know, if nothing floats

my boat, I might hang my
leathers up, you never know.

Me and the kids together have had our down
times and I haven't tried to hide anything

from them, you know, we've
done our crying together

and then okay, what
are we going to do now?

Get over it, move on.

I think the point of life is
to enjoy it, have as good a

time as we can while we're
here and what we've got given.

You can't change what you get given but
you can decide whether or not to enjoy it.

I've been to look at where the crash
was, there's still bits of like green paint

from either my bike or my leathers,
it's still on the cat's eye on the side of

the road, I can actually see, you
know, where it's all gone wrong, I've

disappeared over the side and the
way I look at it, that's where, you know,

the injuries started to happen and
it's sort of, it does get you a little bit.

The main one was my back, I mean, I
broke that in five places and I've got a

big scar on my back and then as a
result of getting tumbled down the hill and

hitting a few things, I mean, I broke
my arm in four places, some slight nerve

damage to it but that's
coming back nicely.

My knee was dislocated, a few scrapes,
we had a broken, sorry, a fractured pelvis

and fractured shoulder blade and a bruised
lung as well so, erm, it was a bit to take

in really, you know, to
get my head round it was,

that was a big challenge,
you know, mentally.

There's no chance I'm giving up.

I'm 24-year-old and I perfectly accept
I've been really, really lucky but my love

for bike racing is still there and I've
got goals I want to achieve so the first

opportunity I ever
get, I'll be straight on it.

That's my plan, you know.

Come up to the verandah next TT or whenever
I get back and just attack it like normal.

It was a big one but
we'll just get on with life.

The world ain't
gonna stop for me.

Tremendous start
throughout the outside.

We think Ian Hutchinson,
the five times in a week

winner at the TT, may be
the lad who's down there.

Unfortunately, I've gone to a second to
last race of the year on a short circuit,

not a road race and ended up with
this injury so, I mean, it's a shame how it

happened, you know, to be
ridden over by somebody else.

You know, when it happened and they
were talking about amputating my leg,

then there was only one
reason I didn't want it amputated

and that was so I can
race a motorbike, you know.

Apart from that, nothing else really
matters, so, you know, my argument was to

get my foot back on and not only get it
on, I said, you know, I don't want a foot

just on the end of my
leg, I want a foot that's

100% working so I
can get on with my job.

Something happened.

Couldn't have been a
better time for it to happen.

Obviously, seven
months until it happened.

It's still the start of the season,
so I've just got to get on with it and,

you know, get back to
fitness for the start of next year.

I've had my first
light, it's my first time.

Yes, weather in Los Angeles
this summer has been all right.

It's been all right.

It's just kind of açl
seventy percent over.

I think... Have a good day, 전야.

Have a good night.

Let's just take a group shot just to see
howeтhe involved this planned block there.

Yeahordice?

Let's go.
